Since mainland China published the first "History of Taiwanese Literature" in the 1980s,due to differences in perspectives,there are quite a number of ideological differences between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait about Taiwanese literature.The official scholars of the Kuo MinTang represented by Yin Xueman and Liu Xinhuang believed that Taiwanese literary creation was the peak of literary achievements and values in the history of Chinese new literature in the 1950s;Taiwan's "localism" scholars represented by Ye Shitao,Peng Ruijin,and Chen Fangming believed that Taiwan's literature in the 1950s was controlled by intellectuals from Mainland to Taiwan,Their creation were not rooted in the true real life of the local people in Taiwan,even not related the ideals and aspirations of their inner life,and they have escaped the misery and joy of the daily life of the people,Thus their literary creation was a castle in the air,a blank page in the history of literature;Mainland scholars generally believed that Taiwanese literature in the 1950s was deeply influenced by the Kuomintang,s ideology of "anti-communism",Many works seriously distort history and reality and have a tendency of "formula and conceptualization".On the contrary,women's literature,local literature,modernism and other "literary ideologies" have certain values in their literary forms.Based on the above points of view,whether it is affirmative or negative,the cognition of Taiwanese literature in the 1950s has almost become a kind of "conclusive" in a sense.And the formation of this "conclusive" does not seem to go beyond the "Black or White" thinking model.Today,after nearly forty years of academic accumulation both at homeland and abroad,along with the discovery of more historical data and the expansion of more research perspectives,The Evaluation of Taiwanese Literature,Especially the Interpretation of the Literary Phenomenon Occurring during the Popularization of the"Anti-Communism" Ideology of the Kuomintang in the 1950s,Rather than rushing to divest it or include it in the mainstream narrative of Chinese literary history,it is better to hold political or cognitive differences for a while and return to the historical scene to discover the complexity of the literary experience and daily experience that the text itself carries.Therefore,this article intends to discuss the rise of "anti-Communist" literature in the early 1950s under the political ideology of "anti-communism and resuming the country," and the "anti-communist" trend weakened in the late 1950s as nearly ten years period.Selected literary phenomena such as "anti-communist literature",female writers who moved to Taiwan,and first-generation rural literature after the war were the objects of discussion.Introducing Leo Strauss "hidden micro-writing"theory as a research perspective,focusing on three important narratives:class,gender,and ethnic identity which in the system of the country as the discussion center.From the perspective of the history of Chinese modern and contemporary thought and culture,we should re-read those representative texts that are almost "classified."While clarifying the repressed existence of Kuomintang political ideology on literary and artistic creation,Trying to trace back the contradiction and entanglement between the logic and emotion implied in the literary text of that era of political disjunction,the collision,inheritance and variation with the Chinese New Literature tradition,To re-understand the complex and close connection between literary narrative and national history.
